[IRCA] XETGO 1100 beating up WTAM at times

[neilkaz <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mexicans in general are quite decent at times here in IL and most noticable is XETGO Radio Canon with Mexican mx and ID's ment FM 90.1 after every song. At times this has been over WTAM! At other times it fades or WTAM fades in stronger and covers it. This makes me wonder what had the clear MST TC a few days ago in SS since Zacatecas is CST. Presumably that was XENAS which I sometimes could dig out several years ago when phasing WTAM and when there were fewer Mexicans on 1100. I didn't note a TC from XETGO tonight, but recorded lots and will listen.

XERDO "La Raza" 1060+ is often making it past XEEP. On 1110 I've had a mix of XERED and XEWR at times thru KFAB. There are other Mexicans poking thru pests on other channels especially midband.

73 KAZ Barrington IL, Perseus and Phased Array of Two DKAZ with the beam steered about 240-245 deg.

PS to give an example of what beam steering can do and noting that several dB increase or decrease in signal strength can matter, on 1320 KLWN is the dominant, not strong but the dominant with little KELO. When I turn the phase reverse knob, the beam is steered to peak about 285-290 deg and KELO is dominant and no trace of KLWN can be noted. Eastern stuff that can come in like WILS and WJAS is clobbered by having the antennas terminated like all flag-type antennas. And yes, there's other stuff that can come in on 1320 but it all is basically SW-NW of me.
